Product Owner - Risk/Analytics
London (Hybrid) – Up to £110,000 + bonus
We're working with a specialist insurance business building out a genuinely interesting analytics platform at the core of how they underwrite risk, manage portfolios and allocate capital.
They're looking for a Product Owner who can sit right in the middle of the business and engineering teams and make things actually move.
You’ll be shaping how a complex, data‑heavy product evolves and making sure what gets built is both technically sound and commercially useful.
What you’ll be doing
- Owning and prioritising the product backlog for a core analytics platform
- Turning messy, complex business requirements into clear, usable work for engineers
- Working closely with underwriting, actuarial and portfolio teams to understand how they actually use the product
- Partnering with engineers and tech leads to make sure work is properly defined and deliverable
- Driving backlog refinement, sprint planning and release coordination
- Acting as the day‑to‑day bridge between technical and non‑technical stakeholders
- Making sure what gets delivered does what it’s supposed to do
What they’re looking for
- Experience as a Product Owner or Business Analyst on data or analytics‑led products
- Some understanding of insurance or financial services (reinsurance experience is a big plus, but not essential)
- Comfortable working with engineers and talking through data, APIs and workflows
- Able to write clear user stories, acceptance criteria and business rules
- Strong stakeholder skills
- Familiar with Agile/Scrum ways of working
- Ideally some exposure to SQL or working with structured data
Why it’s worth a conversation
- The product is central to how the business makes money, not a side project
- You’ll be working directly with domain experts including underwriters, actuaries and portfolio managers
- Proper ownership of backlog and direction, not just delivery admin
- A good mix of business complexity and technical challenge
